This week's question is: "I work as a security engineer for a company that has put out a massive RFP for cybersecurity services. On the surface, it looks like an open competition, and several businesses have been invited to submit proposals. But behind the scenes, the higher-ups have already chosen who’s getting the contract—so much so that the winning vendor actually wrote the RFP themselves, and we even paid them consulting fees to do it.I can’t shake the feeling that the other businesses are wasting their time and resources bidding on something they have no chance of winning. Is it unethical to let them believe they have a shot? Should I find a way to discreetly warn them, or is that just asking for trouble?"Listen in to catch Stephen and Rich offering some guidance on this issue. #cybersecurity #cyberadvice #infosec
